Breast cancer is re examined for calcification after 9 years, is breast calcification breast cancer

Is breast calcification cancer? What are the causes of calcification? The breast surgeon will give you a thorough explanation.

The chance of breast calcification developing into cancer is too small to none. Because if you find breast calcification, you should observe it in time, and if the calcification grows, you can surgically remove it, and do not give it a chance to become cancerous. The surgery itself is safe and not too painful, don't have any worries, I wish you a speedy **.

Breast sclerosing adenosis is commonly known as benign sclerosing adenosis and includes simple sclerosing adenosis and complex sclerosing adenosis with radiation scarring.

Compared with ultrasound, CT, MRI and other examination methods, mammography has an absolute advantage in detecting calcification, especially the use of digital mammography, which further improves the display rate of microcalcification.

Different breast diseases have different mechanisms of calcification, and there are a variety of factors that can lead to breast calcification, such as tissue degeneration, necrotic calcium salt deposition, and some tumors secrete calcium-containing substances that cause calcification of perivascular tissues. Analyzing the morphology, number, location and relationship between calcification and surrounding structures is of great help to identify the nature of the lesion.

Morphology of calcification Calcified morphology is of great significance in distinguishing benign and malignant lesions, and it is found that coarse granular, eggshell-like, irregular clumps and orbital calcifications mostly occur in benign lesions. (2) Needle-pointed, rod-shaped, bifurcated and sediment-like calcifications mostly occur in malignant lesions, and when the forms of calcifications are diverse and the size varies greatly, the greater the possibility of malignancy.

However, it is difficult to distinguish benign and malignant lesions from sediment-like calcifications alone. Sediment-like calcifications are indeterminate calcifications, with overlapping benign and malignant lesions, but if sediment-like calcifications are accompanied by other forms of calcification, they suggest malignant lesions.

Number of calcifications Benign calcifications are generally small in number and have coarse granules. Malignant lesions are numerous or impossible to count, such as sediment-like calcifications and clusters of pinpoint calcifications. However, sometimes it can also be manifested in a small number, several or dozens, and a small number of malignant calcifications are often bifurcated and small rods.

In 1972, Woife proposed 15 20 cm2 calcifications, which can be judged as malignant calcification.

Calcified sites Understanding calcified sites should emphasize multi-faceted and multi-angle observation. Benign calcification foci mostly occur in fibrous tissue, fat, blood vessels, apocrine glands, ** and other mammary gland stroma, but rarely in the mammary parenchyma. Malignant calcifications mostly occur in the mammary parenchyma, sediment-like calcifications mostly occur in the acinar of the mammary gland, small rod calcifications mostly occur in the ducts, and small fork calcifications are mostly located in the terminal small ducts.

Relationship between calcifications and masses Calcifications can coexist with or stand alone with masses; It can occur within the lesion or independently of the mass. 90% of ductal carcinoma in situ are detected by mammography** and only present with intramammary calcifications. This is due to the deposition of calcium salts in the ducts or the secretion of tumor cells due to irregular necrosis of carcinoma in situ**.

In summary, mammography is an important means to detect breast calcification, and careful analysis of the manifestations of calcification is of great value for determining the nature of the lesion. The benign calcified particles are coarse, small in number, high in density, and limited in distribution. Malignant calcifications are fine, numerous, and low-density, and sometimes calcifications are the only manifestation of breast cancer.

Breast nodules are cystic hyperplasia of the breast and are non-neoplastic diseases. It is common in women of childbearing age and resolves spontaneously after menopause. Breast hyperplasia is mainly caused by hormonal imbalances. Breast nodules with calcifications are usually diagnosed by mammography or ultrasonography.

Postoperative reexamination of breast cancer shows that there is a calcification foci in the right breast, there is no blood flow signal, and it is generally not considered to be tumor metastasis, and further breast biopsy can be performed.

There may have been breast hyperplasia before, but it has calcified before it disappears.

Guidance: Hello; The main methods after surgery are radiotherapy, chemotherapy and traditional Chinese medicine, and the principle of integration of traditional Chinese and Western medicine is the first principle.

It is recommended that traditional Chinese medicine can clear away heat and detoxify, invigorate blood circulation and eliminate blood stasis, soften and dissolve knots, control the spread of cancer cells, prevent metastasis, and improve the quality of life.

Are calcified plaques on the chest wall?? Then do a pathology after surgery to see if it is metastases.
